p. 8 of 33

July 20, 2017

2. In the case of continuous or recurring excess emissions, the notification

requirements of this section shall be satisfied if the source provides the required

notification after excess emissions are first detected and includes in such

notification an estimate of the time the excess emissions will continue. Excess

emissions occurring after the estimated time period, or changes in the nature of the

emissions as originally reported, shall require additional notification pursuant to

Condition XII.A.1.

B. Permit Deviations Reporting [A.A.C. R18-2-306.A.5.a and b]

The Permittee shall promptly report deviations from permit requirements, including those

attributable to upset conditions as defined in the permit, the probable cause of such

requirement contains a definition of prompt or otherwise specifies a timeframe for

reporting deviations, that definition or timeframe shall govern. Where the applicable

requirement does not address the timeframe for reporting deviations, the Permittee shall

submit reports of deviations according to the following schedule:

1. Notice that complies with A.A.C. R18-2-310.01.A is prompt for deviations that

constitute excess emissions;

2. Notice regarding upset conditions, which are defined as malfunctions or

breakdowns of pollution control equipment, continuous emissions monitoring

systems (CEMS), or continuous opacity monitoring systems (COMS) that are

submitted within two working days of discovery shall be considered prompt; and

3. Except as provided in Condition XII.B.1 and 2, prompt notification of all other

types of deviations shall be every 6-months, concurrent with the annual

compliance certifications required in Condition VII, and can be submitted on the

annual/semiannual deviation monitoring report form located on the Arizona

Department of Environmental Quality Website.

C. Emergency Provision [A.A.C. R18-2-306.E]

1. An “emergency” means any situation arising from sudden and reasonable

unforeseeable events beyond the control of the Permittee, including acts of God,

that require immediate corrective action to restore normal operation, and that

causes the source to exceed a technology-based emission limitation under the

permit, due to unavoidable increases in emissions attributable to the emergency.

An emergency shall not include noncompliance to the extent caused by improperly

designed equipment, lack of preventative maintenance, careless or improper

operation, or operator error.

2. An emergency constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for

noncompliance with such technology-based emission limitations if Condition

XII.C.3 is met.

3. The affirmative defense of emergency shall be demonstrated through properly

signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:


p. 9 of 33

July 20, 2017

a. An emergency occurred and that the Permittee can identify the cause(s) of

the emergency;

b. At the time of the emergency, the permitted facility was being properly

operated;

c. During the period of the emergency, the Permittee took all reasonable

steps to minimize levels of emissions that exceeded the emissions

standards or other requirements in the permit; and

d. The Permittee submitted notice of the emergency to the Director by

certified mail, facsimile, or hand delivery within two working days of the

time when emission limitations were exceeded due to the emergency. This

notice shall contain a description of the emergency, any steps taken to

mitigate emissions, and corrective action taken.

4. In any enforcement proceeding, the Permittee seeking to establish the occurrence

of an emergency has the burden of proof.

5. This provision is in addition to any emergency or upset provision contained in any

applicable requirement.

D. Compliance Schedule [ARS § 49-426.I.5]

For any excess emission or permit deviation that cannot be corrected within 72 hours, the

Permittee is required to submit a compliance schedule to the Director within 21 days of

such occurrence. The compliance schedule shall include a schedule of remedial measures,

including an enforceable sequence of actions with milestones, leading to compliance with

the permit terms or conditions that have been violated.

E. Affirmative Defenses for Excess Emissions Due to Malfunctions, Startup, and Shutdown [A.A.C. R18-2-310]

1. Applicability

A.A.C. R18-2-310 establishes affirmative defenses for certain emissions in excess

of an emission standard or limitation and applies to all emission standards or

limitations except for standards or limitations:

a. Promulgated pursuant to Sections 111 or 112 of the Act;

b. Promulgated pursuant to Titles IV or VI of the Clean Air Act;

c. Contained in any Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) or New

Source Review (NSR) permit issued by the U.S. EPA;

d. Contained in A.A.C. R18-2-715.F; or

2. Affirmative Defense for Malfunctions


p. 10 of 33

July 20, 2017

Emissions in excess of an applicable emission limitation due to malfunction shall

constitute a violation. When emissions in excess of an applicable emission

limitation are due to a malfunction, the Permittee has an affirmative defense to a

civil or administrative enforcement proceeding based on that violation, other than

a judicial action seeking injunctive relief, if the Permittee has complied with the

reporting requirements of A.A.C. R18-2-310.01 and has demonstrated all of the

following:

a. The excess emissions resulted from a sudden and unavoidable breakdown

of process equipment or air pollution control equipment beyond the

reasonable control of the Permittee;

b. The air pollution control equipment, process equipment, or processes were

at all times maintained and operated in a manner consistent with good

practice for minimizing emissions;

c. If repairs were required, the repairs were made in an expeditious fashion

when the applicable emission limitations were being exceeded. Off-shift

labor and overtime were utilized where practicable to ensure that the

repairs were made as expeditiously as possible. If off-shift labor and

overtime were not utilized, the Permittee satisfactorily demonstrated that

the measures were impracticable;

d. The amount and duration of the excess emissions (including any bypass

operation) were minimized to the maximum extent practicable during

periods of such emissions;

e. All reasonable steps were taken to minimize the impact of the excess

emissions on ambient air quality;

f. The excess emissions were not part of a recurring pattern indicative of

inadequate design, operation, or maintenance;

g. During the period of excess emissions there were no exceedances of the

relevant ambient air quality standards established in Title 18, Chapter 2,

Article 2 of the Arizona Administrative Code that could be attributed to

the emitting source;

h. The excess emissions did not stem from any activity or event that could

have been foreseen and avoided, or planned, and could not have been

avoided by better operations and maintenance practices;

i. All emissions monitoring systems were kept in operation if at all

practicable; and

j. The Permittee's actions in response to the excess emissions were

documented by contemporaneous records.

3. Affirmative Defense for Startup and Shutdown

a. Except as provided in Condition XII.E.3.b, and unless otherwise provided

for in the applicable requirement, emissions in excess of an applicable


p. 11 of 33

July 20, 2017

emission limitation due to startup and shutdown shall constitute a

violation. When emissions in excess of an applicable emission limitation

are due to startup and shutdown, the Permittee has an affirmative defense

to a civil or administrative enforcement proceeding based on that violation,

other than a judicial action seeking injunctive relief, if the Permittee has

complied with the reporting requirements of A.A.C. R18-2-310.01 and has

demonstrated all of the following:

(1) The excess emissions could not have been prevented through

careful and prudent planning and design;

(2) If the excess emissions were the result of a bypass of control

equipment, the bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life,

personal injury, or severe damage to air pollution control

equipment, production equipment, or other property;

(3) The air pollution control equipment, process equipment, or

processes were at all times maintained and operated in a manner

consistent with good practice for minimizing emissions;

(4) The amount and duration of the excess emissions (including any

bypass operation) were minimized to the maximum extent

practicable during periods of such emissions;

(5) All reasonable steps were taken to minimize the impact of the

excess emissions on ambient air quality;

(6) During the period of excess emissions there were no exceedances

of the relevant ambient air quality standards established in Title

18, Chapter 2, Article 2 of the Arizona Administrative Code that

could be attributed to the emitting source;

(7) All emissions monitoring systems were kept in operation if at all

practicable; and

(8) Contemporaneous records documented the Permittee’s actions in

response to the excess emissions.

b. If excess emissions occur due to a malfunction during routine startup and

shutdown, then those instances shall be treated as other malfunctions

subject to Condition XII.E.2.

4. Affirmative Defense for Malfunctions During Scheduled Maintenance

If excess emissions occur due to a malfunction during scheduled maintenance, then

those instances will be treated as other malfunctions subject to Condition XII.E.2.

5. Demonstration of Reasonable and Practicable Measures

For an affirmative defense under Condition XII.E.2 or XII.E.3, the Permittee shall

demonstrate, through submission of the data and information required by

Condition XII.E and A.A.C. R18-2-310.01, that all reasonable and practicable


p. 12 of 33

July 20, 2017

measures within the Permittee’s control were implemented to prevent the

occurrence of the excess emissions.

XIII. RECORDKEEPING REQUIREMENTS [A.A.C. R18-2-306.A.4]

A. The Permittee shall keep records of all required monitoring information including, but not

limited to, the following:

1. The date, place as defined in the permit, and time of sampling or measurements;

2. The date(s) analyses were performed;

3. The name of the company or entity that performed the analyses;

p. 13 of 33

July 20, 2017

information.

XVI. PERMIT AMENDMENT OR REVISION [A.A.C. R18-2-317.01, -318, -319, and -320]

The Permittee shall apply for a permit amendment or revision for changes to the facility which does

not qualify for a facility change without revision under Section XVII, as follows:

A. Facility Changes that Require a Permit Revision - Class II (A.A.C. R18-2-317.01);

B. Administrative Permit Amendment (A.A.C. R18-2-318);

C. Minor Permit Revision (A.A.C. R18-2-319); and

D. Significant Permit Revision (A.A.C. R18-2-320).

The applicability and requirements for such action are defined in the above referenced regulations.

XVII. FACILITY CHANGE WITHOUT A PERMIT REVISION [A.A.C. R18-2-306.A.4 and -317.02]

A. Except for a physical change or change in the method of operation at a Class II source

requiring a permit revision under A.A.C. R18-2-317.01, or a change subject to logging or

notice requirements in Conditions XVII.B and XVII.C, a change at a Class II source shall

not be subject to revision, notice, or logging requirements under this Section.

B. Except as otherwise provided in the conditions applicable to an emissions cap created under

A.A.C. R18-2-306.02, the following changes may be made if the source keeps on site

records of the changes according to Appendix 3 of the Arizona Administrative Code:

1. Implementing an alternative operating scenario, including raw materials changes;

2. Changing process equipment, operating procedures, or making any other physical

change if the permit requires the change to be logged;

3. Engaging in any new insignificant activity listed in A.A.C. R18-2-101.68 but not

listed in the permit;

4. Replacing an item of air pollution control equipment listed in the permit with an

identical (same model, different serial number) item. The Director may require

verification of efficiency of the new equipment by performance tests; and

5. A change that results in a decrease in actual emissions if the source wants to claim

credit for the decrease in determining whether the source has a net emissions

increase for any purpose. The logged information shall include a description of

the change that will produce the decrease in actual emissions. A decrease that has

not been logged is creditable only if the decrease is quantifiable, enforceable, and

otherwise qualifies as a creditable decrease.

C. Except as provided in the conditions applicable to an emissions cap created under A.A.C.

R18-2-306.02, the following changes may be made if the source provides written notice to

the Department in advance of the change as provided below:


p. 14 of 33

July 20, 2017

1. Replacing an item of air pollution control equipment listed in the permit with one

that is not identical but that is substantially similar and has the same or better

pollutant removal efficiency: 7 days. The Director may require verification of

efficiency of the new equipment by performance tests;

2. A physical change or change in the method of operation that increases actual

emissions more than 10% of the major source threshold for any conventional

pollutant but does not require a permit revision: 7 days;

3. Replacing an item of air pollution control equipment listed in the permit with one

that is not substantially similar but that has the same or better efficiency: 30 days.

The Director may require verification of efficiency of the new equipment by

performance tests;

4. A change that would trigger an applicable requirement that already exists in the

permit: 30 days unless otherwise required by the applicable requirement;

5. A change that amounts to reconstruction of the source or an affected facility: 7

days. For the purposes of this subsection, reconstruction of a source or an affected

facility shall be presumed if the fixed capital cost of the new components exceeds

50% of the fixed capital cost of a comparable entirely new source or affected

facility and the changes to the components have occurred over the 12 consecutive

months beginning with commencement of construction; and

6. A change that will result in the emissions of a new regulated air pollutant above an

applicable regulatory threshold but that does not trigger a new applicable

requirement for that source category: 30 days. For purposes of this requirement,

an applicable regulatory threshold for a conventional air pollutant shall be 10% of

the applicable major source threshold for that pollutant.

D. For each change under Condition XVII.C, the written notice shall be by certified mail or

hand delivery and shall be received by the Director the minimum amount of time in

advance of the change. Notifications of changes associated with emergency conditions,

such as malfunctions necessitating the replacement of equipment, may be provided with

less than required notice, but must be provided as far in advance of the change, or if

advance notification is not practicable, as soon after the change as possible. The written

notice shall include:

1. When the proposed change will occur;

2. A description of the change;

3. Any change in emissions of regulated air pollutants; and

4. Any permit term or condition that is no longer applicable as a result of the change.

E. A source may implement any change in Condition XVII.C without the required notice by

applying for a minor permit revision under A.A.C. R18-2-319.

F. The permit shield described in A.A.C. R18-2-325 shall not apply to any change made under

this Section, other than implementation of an alternate operating scenario under Condition

XVII.B.1.


p. 15 of 33

July 20, 2017

G. Notwithstanding any other part of this Section, the Director may require a permit to be

revised for any change that, when considered together with any other changes submitted

by the same source under this Section over the term of the permit, constitutes a change

under subsection A.A.C. R18-2-317.01.A.

H. If a source change is described under both Conditions XVII.B and C, the source shall

comply with Condition XVII.C. If a source change is described under both Condition

XVII.C and A.A.C. R18-2-317.01.B, the source shall comply with A.A.C. R18-2-

317.01.B.

I. A copy of all logs required under Condition XVII.B shall be filed with the Director within

30 days after each anniversary of the permit issuance date. If no changes were made at the

source requiring logging, a statement to that effect shall be filed instead.

J. Logging Requirements [Arizona Administrative Code, Appendix 3]

1. Each log entry required by a change under Condition XVII.B shall include at least

the following information:

a. A description of the change, including:
